“What a great local place for a good burger! The atmosphere is very welcoming and the food was great. I had a cheeseburger combo. The meat was not greasy and melted in my mouth. The veggies were crispy and fresh. The owner is also extremely friendly and passionate.“

“Va de Vi Bistro & Wine Bar continues to impress us every visit. The food is always incredibly fresh, and the rotating menu keeps things exciting.

Their wine list is extensive and thoughtfully curated, with something for every mood. We usually sit outside on the patio under the heaters with our dog, and they’re always super accommodating.

The servers are also genuinely kind, attentive, and knowledgeable — it’s consistently a great experience all around. Highly recommend“

“This is a wonderful place to get a good cup of coffee and a delicious savory or sweet pastry. Please spread the word this bakery is located in a strip mall that is going down hill. This Bakery brings class to the area.“

“This is BY FAR my husband and I’s favorite Indian restaurant to eat in the Bay Area. It is ethnic, every item on the menu is full of flavor and it has a real loving atmosphere inside. Feels like home. I recommend Methi to everyone who loves Great food!“

“Great flavors! I’m not avoidant of dairy but this is is my new favorite ice cream place! The fact that the ice cream is made from cashew milk adds a unique flavor to everything! From vanilla to matcha (my favorite)
I definitely recommend to give it a try“

“We were in the Walnut Creek and were craving piroshkis. We knew about Babushka Market & Deli and so we went there and ordered 6 piroshkis. The lady named Lyubov behind the counter is one of the nicest person we have ever met. She was very helpful and explained how they have something like 16 or 17 different kinds/varieties of piroshkis. We ordered 3 beef and 3 beef with jalapeno and they warmed them up for us on the spot. These are baked piroshkis, not deep friend, so they were not oily like the other kind. They were filled with a huge portion of meat with perfect seasoning with a huge beef flavor. They are literally the perfect sandwich and for a very reasonable price. We were very impressed by the quality of them and even one is enough to fully satisfy your hunger. As we were sitting at the table inside eating them, gentleman at the table next to us starting talking to us about the piroshkis. It turned out he was the owner of the Market and his name was Leo and he started it 29 years ago and runs it with his family. He told us that they buy their meat fresh and grind it on site and use all fresh and good ingredients, which explains why the piroshkis are so fantastic. We talked with Leo for a long time about the olden days, living in other countries, and our common experiences and ancestries…it was a wonderful conversation which was a perfect complement to the best piroshkis in the Bay Area in our opinion. If you haven’t tried this place we urge you to stop buy and buy one, which I think for sure after you eat it, you’ll want to buy a few more to take home. 5 Stars to this place…the best!“

“Tatsu is a solid spot here that really delivers on atmosphere and flavor. The authentic Japanese design stands out right away - warm wood tones, pink Sakuras, clean lines, and a cozy layout that makes the space feel both traditional and welcoming.

On a packed Saturday night, the team was clearly working at full speed. The chef in particular was impressive - focused, efficient, and handling a nonstop flow of orders without missing a beat. You could feel the effort and care behind the counter.

The sashimi was fresh, clean, and genuinely delicious - exactly what you hope for when you sit down at a sushi bar. The specialty rolls like Flaming Dragon were beautifully plated with a bit of flair, and the uni shooters were the highlight of the night - rich, briny, and absolutely outstanding.

Overall, a lively, high-quality sushi experience. When a restaurant is that busy and still maintains this level of freshness and service, that says a lot. Definitely worth coming back.“

“Delicious and fresh. Excellent vegetarian food. Great takeout service and online ordering.“

“When we visit NorCal we always make as many stops here as possible. I think we’ve covered a lot of the breakfast/lunch options and we’ve been very pleased. The food is always fresh and tasty but some standouts are any of the omelettes and Benedict dishes. I love their blueberry power scone, but a family favorite is the zucchini bread which personally I find just a bit too sweet. The salads are fresh and filed with a wide variety of veggies. My recent tuna salad was so big that I took half of it home.
The service here is outstanding, all lovely smiles and attentiveness.“

“Great vibe, wonderful service and Delicious products!“

“I had a takeout pizza from this restaurant last night first of all the customer service was absolutely excellent. The person that answered the phone had a really pleasant customer focused manner , nothing was too much trouble and he was so polite. The pizza was absolutely amazing , I hate anything that is too heavy and it was so light and lovely , the ingredients tasted extremely fresh , I would 100% recommend this place based upon my first experience and I will be back thanks so much 🥰“

“Amazing people serving amazing food!! Going to be ordering for my family members for Christmas gifts“

“Excellent staff. Delicious - big fan of that pluot sorbet!!“

“It’s ok. The broth is solid but the meat is very spare. Got the largest size bowl with everything and it had maybe two pieces of tendon and one of tripe. Few meatballs, few slices of beef. Coming from SF I’d say even yummy yummy / y&y is better.“

“First visit. Everything was delicious. Poutine fries, a side salad, and the Pittsburgh Cheese Steak. Will definitely be back.“

“First time here. Super cute & chill vibe. Pic of food was after I ate one shrimp tempura then remembered I wanted a pic of our dinner. The presentation was much better when it arrived. One teriyaki chicken bento with shrimp tempura and a lion king roll was more than enough for two. Overall, super happy with quality and quantity of food. Definitely recommend trying out this place.“

“Best Pizza in the World!!! Was very excited to see there was a pomh on WCreek I love the one in capitola and usually eat as many pieces as humanly possible!! Thank y'all Gethen Jenkins“

“Great Asian delicacies in warm hospitable atmosphere.

Foods are homy and they have variety of choices such as different meat, vegetarian and seafoods.

The meals are priced reasonably low and their tea pots are yummy.“

“This is a perfectly adequate thai restaurant. It appears to be a small family operation, and they were nice enough and service was decent and food was edible. I understand that this restaurant has been here a long time, so it seems like a reliable option.

The atmosphere is okay. It's just a small restaurant with plain decor. Fairly basic but clean.“

“This place is so lovely — their drinks are delicious. I went four days in a row just to try the different matcha flavors! I would recommend the banana cream and strawberry matcha. The Bahn Mi is also super yummy (and the large one is huge). The staff are friendly and efficient. I recommend stopping by if you’re ever at the library.“

“Great service delicious food cozy atmosphere. Awesome Happy Hour 👍👍👍👍👍“

“I cannot say enough good things about Lettuce in Walnut Creek. Every single dish we have tried has been absolutely fabulous and I do not use that word lightly. The flavors are fresh and vibrant, the ingredients are clearly high quality, and you can tell the team puts real love into what they do. Whether you are going for one of their signature salads, grain bowls, or something seasonal, it always hits that perfect balance of healthy and satisfying. It is one of the few places where eating clean does not feel like you are sacrificing taste. In fact, it is the opposite. You will leave feeling nourished and spoiled. The vibe is modern and inviting, the service is warm and efficient, and everything is just beautifully presented. It has become a go to spot for our family, especially when we want something fast but genuinely delicious. Highly recommend for anyone in the Walnut Creek area or passing through. Lettuce is doing something special and it shows in every bite.“

“Great menu....creative choices Welcoming atmosphere Friendly & Expedient service“

“I absolutely love this restaurant and have been coming here for nearly 20 years. The staff are attentive and kind, and the food is consistently delicious and fresh. We have celebrated birthdays here and they make it special.

Whether you’re going for a bento box or sushi (or both!), you will be happy with your meal. What I love is that it’s consistent from visit to visit. The sushi is especially fresh and, in the past, I’ve asked them to recreate some of my favorite rolls from other restaurants and they were happy to give it a go (and it came out great).

We visited again a few weeks ago and I was so happy with our meal that I wanted to leave a review. I should have done this sooner… they deserve every 5 stars!

Oh and if you’re a plant lover… check out the gorgeous ficus at the entry. 😍 It’s real and thriving!“

“So good and very pleasant stuff!!“

“It’s always a lovely time at Tellus coffee! The creative and delicious food and drinks, warm and inviting ambiance (that plant wall just makes me happy) and the super-kind and efficient baristas are the best! Thanks to owner Janae for all her hard work making Tellus a Walnut Creek fave!“

“Have a good variety to please everyone“

“I enjoyed the Carne Asada plate 💯 very polite and great customer service 😎✅ Every time we come and visit we will stop in from Seattle. Buena comida muy buen precios y hablan español 😊✅“

“One of the best small delis around the Bay Area! The place is small but the food is amazing! Great place to pick up a yummy sandwich (or other items) parkingis limited and can get busy quickly with a line out the door but it is definitely worth the wait! 10 out of 10 recommend“

“Awesome food and great service!!!“

“I went to brunch with my girlfriends we had great service wonderful bloody Mary we will go back the food was excellent“

“The sushi was great, but like others have posted, the rolls are really large and make it difficult to eat.

The service was awesome very speedy and on brand.

The atmosphere is a normal bistro, and designed to be super fast.“

“I love the minis! I'm a regular because I walk past this sweet spot all the time. They always have one, sometimes two vegan options. The mini cupcakes are a perfect few bites of indulgence for only a couple bucks. Ask about day old for half price. Card only. No cash!“

“Awesome food and presentation. Friendly service!“

“Great Lunch Menu Specials!!!“

“Vanessa’s Bistro is hands down my favorite restaurant in Walnut Creek. I like to get out and try new places but yet I always find myself coming back to VB2 for amazing food, drinks, staff, and atmosphere. It’s my favorite place to take friends that have never tried it. If you want to impress in a casual way it’s perfect for a first date or girls night out too. Try the Claypot Rice Or Prawns with mango and garlic butter noodles! Potstickers Chicken rolls All of it!“
